About Nocton Community Primary School

Nocton Community Primary School is a small state primary in the Lincolnshire village of Nocton, with just 39 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105. That means the school is operating at barely a third of its potential size, which is striking for a village primary in a county with 280 similar schools. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35.9%, well above the national average of around 23%, suggesting the school serves a notably disadvantaged catchment. Despite the spare capacity, the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 8 applications for just 3 places — an oversubscription ratio of 2.67. All three first-preference applicants were offered a place, indicating strong local demand from families who choose the school as their top option. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 3, with nursery provision on site.
